Where Do Bass go in Fall??? (And The Best Baits To Catch Them)

Fall is here! Here's what you need to know to keep catching bass! Bass are schooling up and feeding! If you're not catching them, you need to adapt right away because it's happening, and you're missing it. Regardless of the type of lake you're fishing, we're here to help! From where bass position in different types of fisheries, to the baits we use to catch them, we're about to lay it all out for you.

Fall is prime time for bass fishing! Whether you like to fish shallow or deep, there are aggressive fish to be caught. We use different lures depending on the type of fishery but the concept is the same; find the baitfish, find the bass. Keep moving, keep searching, and keep your eyes peeled for signs of life! If you can find the baitfish, active bass aren't far behind.

Below is a breakdown of the gear we recommend using during these conditions. We've included rigging components where applicable and even included our favorite colors for each technique. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
